Goodnature Ends 2017 with a Successful X-1 Mini Presale
When we first started developing the X-1 Mini a couple years ago, we didn’t really know what the perfect juice machine looked like. How big it should be, how much juice it should make, and what price point it should be at were all a bit of a mystery. We did know one thing for sure— the market was missing a solution to make fresh, cold-pressed juice front-of-house in a cafe instead of in the back of a commercial kitchen.
What Juice Served Here Closing Means for Juice
Friday proved to be a sad day in the juicing industry as an iconic brand, Juice Served Here, became Juice Served…. somewhere else. Shutting down their business somewhat unexpectedly, the news came as a statement on the JSH website as well as an email sent out to their contact list. As one of our longer standing customers, it came as a shock to us at Goodnature as well.
X-1 Mini Update Videos – Hourly Juice Production and First Look
My brother, Eric, (CEO) was able to make 64 bottles of apple juice (12 ounce bottles) in an hour on a recent prototype of the X-1 Mini last month. We filmed it and decided to post it as a time lapse, as it shows that this machine can really support a small juice business. The prototype here is basically all of the functional components of the final version of the X-1 Mini Pro without the pretty design or nice materials.
Introducing the Goodnature X-1 Mini
It is with great pride and excitement today that we bring you the X-1 Mini. The world’s first commercial, all in one, countertop cold-press system. Fruit goes in, juice comes out, a few bottles at a time, with simple operation.
Why Juices are Getting Smaller
For years the standard bottle of cold-pressed juice has been 16 or 17 ounces (often times “16 oz” bottles are actually 16.7), but lately you may have noticed a trend – the bottles are getting smaller, and coming in at around 12 oz / 350 ml. Let’s look at why…
Juice Labeling Requirements
You’ve decided on what type of bottles you want to use and are ready to start designing your labels…this is the fun part! Labels are a big part of your identity as a brand. The font, decoration, placement, and the colors used, play an important role in the unique impression that labels give your business. What’s not so fun is trying to figure out what is required by the FDA and where on the label you need to place it.
How To Earn More Profit in Your Juice Business
The Importance of Maintaining Your Juice Equipment
Sometimes we will receive a frantic call from a panicked juice bar owner – their juicer is down! When they can’t make juice, their whole business comes to a halt. Usually it’s something simple that can be resolved over the phone, but sometimes it is something more serious that can cause the machine to be down for a day or two before it’s repaired. This is a very unfortunate thing to happen for a juice business.
Juice Shot Recipes: Sweet Revenge & Toxin Ninja
Small portions of nutrient dense juice, commonly referred to as detox shots, wellness shots, booster shots, or immunity shots are gaining popularity. Health-wise they pack a huge punch of vitamins and antioxidants in a small 2oz – 4oz shot.
Behind the Juice – A New Documentary Series About the Cold-Pressed Juice Industry
Over the last six months, I’ve been working on a new project that I’m calling “Behind the Juice,” a documentary series consisting of short 10-15 minute episodes where we go behind the scenes at the fastest growing and most well respected cold-pressed juice companies.
Amazon Buys Whole Foods – What Does this Mean for Cold-Pressed Juice?
It’s been all over the news – Amazon agreed to purchase Whole Foods Markets in a cash deal for $13.7 Billion USD. Wow. There has been a ton of articles on how this will affect the grocery industry and Amazon as a company, but how will this affect juice? (If you prefer a quick video analysis, you can check it out on my personal youtube channel here.)
How to Make Cold-Pressed Nut Oil
Making your own cold-pressed nut oils is a great alternative to purchasing costly cold-pressed oils or even the less expensive “refined” oils. Refined oils use heat during pressing which often destroys the delicate nutty flavor. Using a cold-press to extract oil from nuts and seeds is easy and efficient.
